Could having surgery leave me feeling worse than I did before?

29 Oct 2013
Jennifer Edwards

Although this doesn’t happen often, some patients do develop increased back or leg pain after their operations. This could be due to some obvious complication, which should be discussed with your surgeon. Or it could be due to your body’s unique response to the added pain and stress caused by surgery. It is a problem that needs careful re-evaluation. You and your surgeon need to fully discuss your situation and how best to proceed.
